subcortical hemorrhage

My sister and I are both pregnant. I am due March 13 and she is due May 25. So I am 19 wks and she is 9 wks. Anyhow...she has been spotting for a while and the dr said it was normal. She only spots when she wipes. She woke up this morning and had a fever and had blood clots. So she went to the ER. They did an ultra sound and the baby was fine.. Heart beat 160. Then the dr said she had subcortical hemorrhaging. I have looked this up and they just beat around the bush on what it is..CAN SOMEONE SHED SOME LIGHT!!

The doctor has put her on strict bedrest for the weekend and she had to make an appt for Monday morning..Please pray for her..

THANKS!!

I tried to look this up but I think you may have the medical terminology wrong. A subcortical hemorrhage is, apparently, something a neurologist would treat,not an OB. A subchorionic hemorrhage is what I think you may mean. Below is an article that discusses subchrionic hemorrhage. There can be a risk of increased m/c if it is bad enough. I have also read that it can be helped with blood thinners if necessary. I hope this helps.

Is it a subchorionic hemorrhage?? I have never heard of the other one, so I can't help much there. But if it is a subchorionic, I have had two of those. One with my son, one with this baby. They do only occur in 1% of pregnancy's so they are not too common, but with proper care she and the baby will be fine. With my son I bled out, which sounds like what is going on with her. She will pass blood, sometimes it may seem like alot and clots as well. This time, with my current pregnancy, my body absorbed the blood, so I only spotted a tiny amount. It occurs in early pregnancy before 20 weeks and generally resolves itself by 20 weeks. I will post a link about this for you. I have one healthy little boy with having this condition, and my pregnancy this time is still healthy as well, and my hemorrhage has resolved now. I hope this helps in some way to ease both your minds. I'm not even sure that this is the same thing as what she has but it can't hurt to try? Health and Happiness to both of you!

Hopefully you got your answer by now but this hemorrhage happens in 20% of all pregnancies. It is essentially a blood clot. It usually just dissolves. The doctor usually does frequent ultrasounds to make sure it is not getting bigger. She will continue to spot until it is gone. I currently have one too. My doctors do not seem too worried at this time because it is not getting worse. Hope this helps.

I had a subchorionic hemorrhage which caused bleeding for a couple of months. It's scary at the time, but I got extra ultrasounds to keep checking on the baby, and now I have a beautiful, healthy 15 month old. It's impossible not to worry, but I hope you can both replace the worries with positive thoughts. Best of luck.
